AUGUST 25, 1836 The political state of England is the most unnatu ral that can he imagined. A liberal, and justly be loved KING— a Government enjoying the confidence of the people—and a House of Commons intent only ur i on the removal of abuses, and the adoption of wise and humane laws, are all suddenly checked in their tighteons career, by an assembly composed of some four hundred titled individuals, calling itcclf one of the three Estates of the Realm. It refuses to move, and the consequence is, that the nation is left to bear the infliction of every evil which, in unison with the SOVEREIGN, the representatives of the people seek to eradicate. Must there not be something radically wrong in a Constitution, agreeably with whose forms such injustice as this can be perpetrated with impu nity ? Is there not something essentially defective in a system which gives to some four hundred irresponsi ble persons—having, few interests in common with the rest of the community—the power of neutralizing the most zealous efforts of a liberal KING, and thirty mil lions of people? Much has been said and written about the constitutional checks of the three Estates of the Realm upon each other, and the power of each to neutralize the evil tendencies of measures adopted by the other two ; hut let us once proceed to examine the question calmly, and to what conclusion must we come ? Why to this :—That if each were to exercise to the fullest extent the power vested in it by the Con stitution, nothing could he done—no purpose or duty of Government could be fulfilled. It is commonly urged that the representatives of the people may, if they think proper, starve the Lords into submission. This is true ; but we deny that the right to rcfrtse the Supplies is a sufficient check upon the mal-practices of the House of Peers. Why cannot a means he de vised for securing the same end, without thus being under a necessity of inflicting a temporary evil upon the whole kingdom ? Wherefore have recourse to the spreading of dissaffection, and the awakening of the spirit of insubordination and distrust in our army and fleet, in order to compel the Lords to accept a Bill necessary to the public tranquillity of Ireland ? The machinery which can only he put effectually in 'no tion through such instrumentality is necessarily very imperfect —as unsafely contrived as it is bunglingly constructed. But like so many other institutions which, of late years, have been beneficially re-modelled to suit the wants, and to conform to the spirit, of the age, that part of our Constitution which establishes, or rather recognizes, a hereditary irresponsible Peerage as a branch of the Legislature, must be either reformed or abolished without delay. A s IT LT ...JAIME well ob served in his able address to the House of Commons on Saturday last, the country has abundance of precedents for such a course—precedents which would even go the length of removing the constitutional scruples of Lord LYNDHURST, had they been submitted to him before his elevation to the Woolsack. The Hon. Member for Middlesex stated that the Municipal Cor porations were as old as the House of Peers ; and yet they had been reformed when they were found to mi litate against the object for which they were instituted le —the good of the peop • Wherefore, then, should the institution of a House of Lords be suffered to exist as an exception ? In confirmation of the state ment of the Hon. Member, we take leave to maintain that the House of Peers, as now constituted, is, com paratively speaking, only an institution of yesterday. Compared with the antiquity of our Municipal Corpo rate system, contrasted with its close and immemorial adherence to original forms, what a paltry, shuffling, contemptible, venal spectacle does the history of the British House of Lords present ! It may be said of their Lordships that they bartered away their religion at the beck of HENRY VIII., as they did the liberties of the people at the command'of his Royal Father ; for though the Reformation was in itself a blessing, the Peers had only regard to their temporal interests. They were plunderers during the brief reign of ED WARD Vl.—traitors to MARY—and the slaves and sycophants of ELIZABETH. They encouraged CHARLES I. in the insane career which terminated on the scaffold ; and they did all that in them lay to debauch the morals of the nation during the inauspi cious reign of his profligate successor. They betrayed JAMES II; cajoled, deceived, and finally disgusted his illustrious Son-in-law ; and since the accession of the House of BRUNSWICK, seriously disturbed the public tranquillity, by party clamours, and a display of patriotism, only to be put down by posts and pen sions for themselves and families. PITT thought no more of swamping a majority in their House, by new creations, than a farmer would of drowning as many rats caught in his granary ; and if the present PRE MIER has not thought proper to pursue the same course, we presume the reason will be found in his un willingness to bring the House of Lords prematurely into public contempt. But his forbearance will be of no avail. The Peers have invoked the judgment of a power which it can no longer delude with the mockery of the respect due to such a barbarous and corrupt institution. The supremacy of the people is no longer denied by their Lordships ; and we are greatly mistaken indeed if another session be permitted to pass over, without such an exercise of their power as will render the Upper House of Par liament as responsible to the nation as the House of Commons is, under the operation of the Reform Bill. The Lords have had time enough for repentance ; they abused it ; and they must now abide the consequences of their temerity. It will be recollected that when it was announced in the House of Commons that no report was forth coming from the Committee, appointed to inquire into the causes of Agricultural distress, with a view to its relief, some of the self-called farmers' friends attempted to lay the blame of this omission on the Government. We stated at the time that there was no omission in the case ; that the evidence which the Marquis of C HAN DOS, Mr. ATTWOOD, and the other agricultural clap trap and currency people hoped to get up to make out a case for relief had completely failed, and not only failed, but had most incontestably proved the very re verse of the proposition they wished to make out. It was not then for want of materials out of which to frame a report, nor for want of industry on the part of the Chairman to draw it up, that the public, and par ticularly the agricultural part of the public were dis appointed of the treat which they had expected from perusing the result of the laborious investigations of a Committee, the appointment of which had been hailed as the sure and certain remedy for all the evils arising out of high rents and low prices. The draft of a report was actually made out by the Chairman, Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, and submitted to the Com mittee for their consideration. They rejected it. Be cause it was not warranted by the evidence ? No, but because adhering too rigidly to the evidence, it overthrew their most cherished theories, and completely demo lished all their golden, and, we may add, all their sil ver, hopes. They said it would do harm ! To speak the truth would do harm I ! and therefore they put an extinguisher upon the report. We are glad to find, however, that the public are not to lose the benefit of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE'S honest and judicious labours. That gentleman has published a pamphlet embodying the substance of the intended report, together with many valuable sugges tions and observations of his own, tending to throw light upon the future path of the agriculturist, by pointing out the past errors into which he has fallen. It has been very stoutly maintained by landlords and others, who are the advocates of high prices, that the necessary effect of low prices would be to throw much of the wheat-producing land—in fact, all the inferior soils—out of cultivation ; and they have even gone so far as to assert, that this has actually come to pass to a considerable extent already. When call: d upon to explain how such a fact is to be reconciled with a rapidly increasing population, and a diminish ing importation—or rather, no importation at all—they say that the deficiency in England is supplied from Ire land and Scotland. But what says Mr. S. LEFE VR E ? That the excess of the average supply fro:n Ireland, for the last three years is a mere trifle—about 200,000 quar ters, and that England actually sends more wheat to Scotland than she receives from that country. Mr. LE FEVRE further states that, so far from laud going out of cultivation, "in some counties extensive tracts of wold, fen, and heath land, heretofore considered unfit for cultivation, have been redeemed ; in others, all the grass lands have been ploughed up, and that which was formerly sown with flax or hemp has been devoted to wheat, and, by the introduction of the turnip system of husbandry, the poor light lands are made to produce wheat at a less cost to the cultivator than the more tenacious soils ; and thus the clay lands, which were considered the ancicw wheat lands of the country, have to enter into compe tition with the lighter soils, and are no longer able to maintain their superiority." We shall take an early opportunity of re-calling at tention to this well-timed and valuable pamphlet. The Journals announce the death of REYNOLDS, the notorious informer. A press of matter obliges us to postpone till to- morrow some observations which we had prepared respecting the infamous career of this perfidious scoundrel. The French papers bring intelligence from Madrid to the 17th inst. The capital was then tranquil, al though General QUESADA had fallen a victim to the vengeance of the people. We are yet without any par ticulars respecting the circumstances accompanying this brutal outrage, except that the murder was committed on the 15th, at some place two leagues distant from Madrid. A body of men had also paraded the streets in search of ISTURIZ and his colleagues, who would unquestionably have fallen victims to the popular fury had they been discovered. Happily they succeeded in concealing themselves. The mob having failed in finding them, appointed a deputation to the QUEEN, to demand their impeachment before the Cortes. RUFINO CA RASCO was nominated to head the deputation. The' city of Valencia has sent another deputation to the QUEEN, cflarged with a similar demand on the part of the inhabitants of that province. The best thing that ISTURIZ and his colleagues can do is to quit the coun- try with all possible speed. They are no longer safe in Spain. If impeached, they will undoubtedly be exiled for life. With respect to the barbarous massacre of General QUESADA, great allowance must be made for the feeli ngs o f a peop l e t h reatene d w i t h d ea th by a military tyrant, of theo fwhose san guinary disposition the inhabi tants Spanish capital had had the most con vincing proofs. Q UESADA was a weak bad man ; and, like most weak men, he was by nature suspicious and cruel, and by habit relentless. By his recent pro clamation, dooming to death the National Guard of Madrid, unless it gave up its arms before the expira tion of forty-eight hours, and his absurd declaration that he would resist to the death the proclamation of the Constitution of Cadiz in the capital, he left an enraged people no other alternative than that of triumphing by assassination. On the 17th the inhabitants of Madrid were to swear fidelity to the Constitution. Some a tt empts ' at outrage were apprehended ; but t he prevailing opinion was that the people would be quiet, provided care was taken not to molest or irritate them, in the moment of their triumph. As for the QUEEN, not a murmur has been raised against her. All unite in attributing to her the best intentions, and the most ardent desire to restore peace and liberty to the Spanish nation. The Courrier Francais takes notice of some strange rumours afloat in Paris respecting the death of M DE RA YNEVAL, the French Ambassador at San Ilde- 1 , fonso. It states that certain parties in Paris were anxious to have it believed that the Count DE RAY- N EVAL fell a victim to the popular fury in Spain ; that the fact was so reported to the Government ; and that the apprehension of exciting a popular tumult caused the authorities to represent his death as the conse quence of an attack of gout in the head. Of the truth of this report the Journal in question expresses some doubt. We believe it to be altogether a gross fabrication. What could the French Government gain by misrepresenting a fact, the truth of which might be known to all Paris in the course of twelve hours subsequently ? No Government would venture to trifle with the people in a matter of this kind, merely with a view to influence the monetary transactions on the Bourse. The official account of the dismissal of the Is- TURIZ Cabinet, the appointment of the present Mi nisters, and the address of the Catalans to the quEEN, will be found in another part of The Sun. Our opinions upon every fact detailed in them are already before the public. The following are extracts from the French Papers of Tuesday : VALENCIA, AUGUST 12.—At the news of the events of Ma laga and Cadiz General Palarea wished to separate from the Government. The other authorities opposed his wish ; but Colonel Bail, who was at Liria, took possession of Valencia by surprise, on the 9th, with 500 men. General Palarea had 1,700 men under his orders, who refused to unite with those of Bail. Accordingly Palarea retired with his 1,700 to Mur viedro, while Bail proclaimed the Constitution, and appointed a junto. News from Barcelona of the lath portended a similar state there, especially as the fete of the Assumption was on the 15th. We are assured that two Ambassadors of the Northern Courts have demanded explanation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject of the order of the day issued by Gene ral Lebeau, on assuming his command in Navarre. In this the General declares that he held his command from the King of the French. This is in positive contradiction with the po sitive protestations made at the Tuileries. It seems that this affair of co-operation and intervention has been conducted in a clandestine manner, in order to deceive somebody • or else the zeal of the Minister and his agents has exceeded the in tentions and the wishes of the head of the Government, or it is possible that General Lebeau has exceeded his instructions. At any rate, M. Thiers and Marshal Maison are ac c u se d o f having paved the way for direct intervention, by augmenting beyond the stipulated limit the corps lately recruited, by means of promises of promotion.—Phare de Bayonne. The Phare de Bayonne of the 20th inst. has the follow ing :—A letter of the 14th from Pampeluna announces that the Carlists are without funds to enable them to purchase provisions, and therefore have been driven to lay violent hands on the stores of their contractors. This letter adds, that the Junta of Navarre has taken this measure upon the suggestion of the wealthy inhabitants, who hope thereby to escape the contributions with which they were threatened. Brigadier Iribarren, Commander of the cavalry of Ribera, has pro claimed the Constitution of 1812 at Lerin and Larraga, with the 2d regiment of Light Cavalry. It is said that he was compelled to do this in order to avoid disastrous excesses. Accounts from Valencia show that the revolution was effected in that town on the 9th instant. After an attempt by Captain- General Palarca to follow the example of Malaga, which was energetically and successfully opposed by the mu nicipal authorities, Colonel Bail entered the town with 500 men, and proclaimed the Constitution of 1812. while the ma gistrates and the Captain-General, with 1,700 men, retired to Murviedro. When the mail came away Valencia was in a state of consternation, subjected to a Junta composed of ob scure persons, who found great difficulty in organizing the Government. At Barcelona the people were still restrained by General Mina; but on the 12th, in the evening, a threaten ing address to the Queen was signed, demanding the dismissal and arrest of M. Isturiz, an assembling- of the Cortes on the 20th instant, and a popular Administration. Two Deputies were sent off the following day to present the address, accom panied by the nine Procuradores of the province. PARIS, AUG. 23.—( From the Journal du Commerce.) — The Memorial Borelelais gives a rather strange explanation of the movement at St. Ildefonso : " M. Bois de Comte arrived at Madrid on the 11th. Imme diately afterwards he proceeded to La Granja, and had with the Queen an interview of four hours. Now it was on the following day that the oath to the Constitution eas taken. Whit is the most extraordinary is, that the two battalions which made in favour of the Constitution, not an insurrection, as has been said, but a very pacific proposal through the me dium of the officers, were precisely men chosen by Quesada, among those most devoted to the person of the Queen, sure men, supposed to be incapable of any attempt whatever con trar).to her precepts and her wishes. "Hence it is inferred that the resolution of the Queen Was. adopted only at the suggestion of M. Bois Le C om te,. and that he was instru c t e d by M. Thiers to influence to this effect the direction of the Spanish Government. It is wished to obtain the management of a movement, which it is foreseen cannot be stopped ; to try the system proclaimed by the par ties, after having experienced the insufficiency of the Royal Statute, and it is supposed that for this purpose the combina tion of which the last post brought the unexpected result, was imagined and arranged between the Queen, her body guard, and the French envoy. " Immediately after the oath had been taken to the Consti tution, Messrs Isturiz and Toreno repaired to La Granja, and that nothing might be wanting to the strangeness of the plan adopted, Mina and several of the Captains-general who resisted the movement in the provinces, hare been created proems of the kingdom." _ Such - is the information given by some letters from Madrid, Without pretending to answer for the correctness we give it as tending to introduce a change of system in the Spanish Go• vernment, which would cover it with shame, if it were not voluntary and premeditated. It is affirmed that Tafalla and Lumber have proclaimed the Constitution of 1812. A letter from Bayonne says, " It is affirmed that General Lebeau has taken the military chests of one of the Carlist corps, in which there were 10,000 francs in gold.—Messayer, Aug. 23.

BOURSE, QUAkTER TO FOUR.—A report has circulated on 'Change that an express arrived this morning for the King of Naples, which has determined his Majesty to depart this even ing for his kingdom : it has had some influence on the securi ties, particularly on the Neapolitan, which fell from par, which they were at yesterday, to 99f. 20c. ; they are now a shade better.

HARVEY, addressed a note to the Sub-Prefect of that city, to the effect that the deserters from the British Legion, confined in the prison of Bayonne, would re ceive a free pardon from General EvArrs, provided they would again join their comrades against the Car lists. On the 19th, only one individual had con sented to avail himself of the clement offer of the General. General LEBEAU has not been inactive since his appointment to the command of the French Foreign Legion. Already he has succeeded in driving the Carlists from all their positions in the valley of Ul zama, and in destroying their breast-works at Engui, besides compelling them to retreat into the valley of the Bastan. The rapidity of his movements com pletely disconcerts all their plans. If ably supported by the new Commander-in-Chief, he will be of infi nite service to the QUEEN'S cause. General EVANS is much better, and is preparing to make one grand effort to retrieve his late mishaps. Had the Spanish Government kept faith with the Legion ; had he not suffered himself to be made the dupe of the wily CORDOVA ; and worse than all, had he been spared the visitation of sickness ; he would not now form a subject for ridicule in the columns of a French newspaper. But there is yet a prospect of his ultimate success. If he succeed in crushing the spirit of insubordination which fatally prevails among his men, the rest will be easy enough. General CORDOVA formally resigned the command of the army to his successor, General SAARSFIELD) on the 16th inst., at Miranda de Ebro. On the 14th the new Commander-in-Chief addressed a letter to General EvANs, couched in terms of the warmest friendship and respect. SAARSFIELD stated that he was fully aware of the obstacles which had been thrown' in the way of the Legion, but that it would be his study to remove them.

The Temple Guiting estate, not far removed from Cheltenham, and contiguous to Tewkesbury and Stow markets, is announced in our columns this evening for peremptory sale, by Mr. George Robins. This fine property comes into the market in consequence of the lamented decease of George Talbot, Esq., the near relative of Lord Shrewsbury. It is altogether a " place of his own creation," and it will be seen, by reference to the announcement, that Hafod and Piercefield, the most favoured properties in England, are both brought into the immediate recollection of Mr. Robins by Guiting Park. The domain and park exceeds three thousand acres, and will afford to the great capitalist one of the most desirable investments of the present prolific season. Longevity is one of its very many attributes, and this is confirmed by Warren Hastings (who resided close by) numbering ninety winters there. East Indians will do well to remember this. A portion of Lord Carnarvon's property, the East Woodhay estate, 1,260 acres, in the vicinity of the splendid scenery of High Clere, is fixed for positive sale by Mr. George Robins, in lots, on the 16th Sept. It was postponed last week, by circumstances not to be controlled. There are many of the lots which, it is said, afford the most inviting situations to place thereon a villa ; the farms include some excellent land, and a highly respectable tenantry. As the property is not at all essential to his Lordship's splendid demesne, it is understood the whole will be offered for absolute sale. One thing is quite certain, that the sale will on no ac count be again deferred. The utmost solicitude is felt by practical men as to the course which the Bank may take to relieve their false po aition, and put an end to the anomalous state of the Money Market, exhibiting a scarcity on some securities, and on others such a repletion, that hardly any interest is afforded for the use of it. Transactions took place to-day in the Consol market under which money was lent till the October account at the rate of little more than 4 per cent. per annum. The object of the Bank is to bring on a general scarcity in order to re store the equilibrium of the foreign exchanges, which are fast declining, and prevent the further exportation of gold. Be sides the facilities of the Consol Market, which interfere with their doing this in an effectual manner, there are their trans actions with the provincial banks, to whom they are bound by contract to furnish money at a cheap rate, and which soon finds its way to the metropolis for employment. A Liverpool letter, received to-day, treating on this subject, mentions the remarkable fact, that the Bank of England at this time, and for a long future time to come, are under an engagement to furnish one of the Banks of that town with 500,000/. at 3 per cent. ; and this is but a speci men, of course, of the general business they are trans acting in the North of England. The Directors have, we believe, discovered, when it is too late, that they have overlooked, what was pointed out at the time, the proper cor rective of the irregularities of the money-market—we allude to a funding of Exchequer-bills, which, if effected a few months back, would at least have placed the Money Market under their control. There is, indeed, a report current that they submitted a measure of this kind to Mr. Rice, to whom they recommened a funding to the extent of 8.000,0001, but, as they were unable to make him comprehend the policy of such an operation, it came to nothing. It is even said, but this must be a piece of scandal, that he was so wholly ignorant of its proper bearings, as to assign that as a reason for refusing which ought to have been a reason for adopting it, viz., he thought it ineligible, because stock was scarce—the very mo tive, above all others, for such a conversion. However that may be, from this omission and other causes that state of the Money Market has been brought on which has already been described, and for which the Bank Directors, if they can, are to supply a remedy. They may be assured that the responsi bility is felt to be a most serious one by every man who has the least knowledge of the subject.— Times. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Charles May Lushington, Esq., was appointed provisionally as a Member of Council for Fort St. George, to succeed to that office upon the completion, by George Edward Russell, E.g., of the term of five years' service in Council, or upon the occurrence of any previous vacancy.

The well-known Vidocq, surnamed the thief-taker, wa s attacked a few nights ago in the Rue du Pont Louis Phi lippe by some thieves, who, upon his drawing a pistol from his pocket, took to their heels. A number of the constituents of Mr. Benett, the Member for Wiltshire, have agreed to present that gentleman with a piece of plate, in token of their sense of his unwearied endeavours to promote the interests of agriculture. None can love freedom heartily but good men ; the rest love not freedom but license, which never hath more scope or more indulgence, than under tyrants. Hence it is that tyrants are not oft offended, nor stand much in doubt of bad men, as being all naturally servile ; but in whom virtue and true worth most is eminent, them they fear in earnest, as by right their masters ; against them lies all their hatred and sus picion. Consequently neither do bad men hate tyrants, but have been always readiest, with the falsified names of loyalty and obedience, to colour over their base compliances. There is no charge more unjustly brought against popular principles, than that of a tendency to promote dis quiet and commotion. Their tendency, on the contrary, is to a uniform action, which is the true repose of nations, as it is of nature ; for there is no such thing as either moral or phy sical stagnation. . Some excavations being made lately at Algiers on the Place du Gouvernment, a vase full of money was found. This circumstance caused some Jews and Moors to remember that a house of the encampment contained some hidden trea sure ;—they declared this to the Government ; and, as they have made themselves responsible for all expenses incurred, the search has been commenced and is still going on. BRIGHTON, AUGUST 24.—1 t has been stated that the Court are expected to remove from Windsor to Brighton on the Ist of September. We believe that preparations were made for that purpose, but since his Majesty's health has im proved these preparations were set aside, and the Court is not expected till about the middle of October. An extraordinary crop of pease has been grown in Heeding: the piece of land measures six acres and a half, and there were 26f loads of pea harm carried off. In a field adjoining is a crop of winter beans, many stems of which are producing upwards of 100 beans upon the stalk. One con tains 145. There is also an extraordinary species of cucumber, almost white, and growing very long and straight, measuring 18 inches.—Brighton Gazette. THE LATE EARL OF KERRY.—The funeral of this lamented Nobleman, eldest son of the Marquis of Lans downe, will take place (as at present arranged) on Saturday next, in the family vault, High Wycombe, Bucks. The fu neral will be conducted in the most plain and simple manner consistent with the rank of the deceased. His Lordship was in his 26th year, and a short time since married a daughter of Viscount Duncannon, by whom he has left issue one child, a daughter. Lord Henry Petty, the next and only son of the Marquis of Lansdowne, is now heir apparent to the titles and vast estates of that noble house, Lord Henry (now Earl of Kerry) is at present on the continent, and will not attain his maiority until January next. By Lord Kerry's decease a va cancy occurs in the representation of Caine. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, and Lady Louisa Fitzmau rice, remain at Lansdowne-house until after the funeral, when they intend to proceed to Bowood. A post mortem examina mtion took place on Monday evening, in the presence of se veral of the most eminent medical practitioners, when it was ascertained that the whole frame of the late lamented young Nobleman was in a diseased state. The Marchioness, who never left the bed-room of her son since her arrival from the continent, is in a state of the deepest affliction. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1836. CORN AVERAGES.

Captain Ross sent his dispatches up by a pilot, and they will be forwarded by to-morrow's post. I understand that Captain Ross has been up the Straits to or near Melville Bay, but owing to the immense masses of ice, could not get across to the westward, and consequently can give no information as to the William Tod. The fishing ships were left by his Majesty's ship Cove about the middle of last month. Only ten whales had been caught, as per annexed account ; viz., William, Lee, of Hull, 1 ; Norfolk, Harrisson, of Berwick, 1 ; Clarendon, Keir, of Leith, 1 ; Advice, Deu chars, of Dundee, 1 ; Princess Charlotte, Adamson, of Dun dee, 1 ; St. Andrew, Bruce, of Aberdeen, 1 ' • Eclipse, of Peterhead, 3; and Superior, Manson, of Peterhead, 1. In all, 10 fish. A letter from Berlin observes—" It seems a very erroneous notion is entertained at Brussels that M. Baird, Member of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, is here for the purpose of negotiating the accession of Belgium to the German Commercial Union. The fact is, that none but States, members •of the German Commercial Union (and consequently neither Switzerland nor Belgium) can be re ceived into it. All that Belgium can expect from the Ger man Commercial Union would, perhaps, be a more advan tageous treaty of commerce and .navigation than that with H olland. " German Paper. PRESS URG, JULY 20.—The counties of Bihar and Szathmar are filled with consternation from the present fires. The town of Belenycs, near Great Waradin, has been de stroyed in this mariner. Many villages near Nagy Karoly have shared the same fate. And the great forest of Debrecgin would have been also totally destroyed but for the exertions of neighbouring people in stopping the flames. There is no doubt that these disasters arise from malevolence. Guards patrol Great Waradin and Nagy Karoly night and day, and divers other districts are in terror. Individuals have been found with incendiary balls.— Verona Paper. . - The Courr i er Francais says Strange reports were in circulation yesterday relating to the nature of the death of M. de Rayneval. It was very gonerally stated that the Government had not given the true cause of this sudden event; and that, having become the victim of popular fury, M. de Rayneval suffered the fate of Messrs. Berthier de Sanvigy and de Flesselles after the taking of the Bastille. This state ment, however, is very improbable. For a long time the friends of M. de Rayneval have been under great apprehen sions from the state of his health, and it will be recollected that, in the bulletin by which the Government announced the occurrences of St. Ildefonso, it was stated that M. de Ray neval being ill, it was M. Bois le Comte who, with Mr. Vil liers, endeavoured to get access to the Queen." ANTWERP, AUG. 22.—We are assured that the Jesuits have raised the camp which they had established at at Dewsne ; that is to say, that they have suddenly abandoned the boarding-school which they directed in that place. The relations of the pupils who are absent for the holidays had re ceived no notice of this sudden flight. The reverend fathers have taken the road to France, and that with such precipita tion, that they seem to have forgotten to pay some professors of the agreeable arts. We wish the gentlemen a pleasant journey.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers. M. Ancillon, Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has arrived with all his family, at Brussels, whence he intends to go to Paris. BERLIN, AUGUST 15.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland has arrived here from London. BRUSSELS, AUG. 21.—The Moniteur Beige of to-day announces officially that the resignation of General Evain, as Minister of War, is accepted; and that General Wilmer is appointed to succeed him. Likewise, that to re compense the services rendered by General Evain, he is ap pointed Minister of State. HUNGARY, AUG. I.—The Archbishop of Erlan during the six years that he was Patriarch of the Venetian Church, formed a collection of 150 or 160 very fine original paintings, chiefly of the Venetian school, which he placed in a Gallery at Erlan, erected expressly for their reception. When the Diet of Hungary in its last sittings in May resolved on the building of a National Museum at Pesth, for which it voted a sum of 500,000 florins, the Archbishop rose, and of fered his collection of pictures to the Museum. This was accepted with acclamations, and the notice incorporated in a separate article of the law.—Frankfort Paper. THE HAGUE, AUGUST 22.—Her Royal Highness Princess Frederica was safely delivered of a son this evening. —Dutch Papers, Aug. 24. Dowton's American expedition is said not to have been so successful as he anticipated. He is on his return home. A person in the neighbourhood of Bradford, sup posing he bad found the exacting quadraturc of the circle, solicited an examination of his method by the scientific world. Accordingly a few gentlemen met him at the Saving's Bank on Tuesday evening last, when he developed his plan. Per haps it is needless to state, that his exhibitio n was a failure. In th , l year 1761, Lambert first demonstiated that the circum ference of a circle is incommensuable with its diameter. Since that time the vain hope of solving this once celebrated problem has been rapidly dying away ; and we are ast on i s h e d to find that there are yet even some who spend their time in quest of an object which mathematical demonstrations have taught us it is impossible to find.—Hull Express.

We do not. attach any credit to the above reports, as we are informe d that letters are in town of the 16th instant., which do not mention utch the above circumstance. Since writing the above, we have received the following interesting letter from Madrid, dated the 16th, in the evening : " The change of Ministry and proclamation of th e Consti tution were effected almost without commotion, and without bloodshed, with the exception of a conflict which took pi,ane in the Plaza de la Cebada, between some of the National Gvards and a detachment of troops in possession there, when sore lives were lost. On the 15th, at eight o'clock in the morn ing, Mendez-Vigo, the Ex-Minister of War, arrived in the ea.- pital from La Granja, with the decrees of his own and his colleagues' dismissal. At five in the a fternoon on the same day, an immense concourse filled the Pi.aza Mayor, where a stone was raised, with the inscription Plaza de la Constitu tion.' Salutes of cannon, peals from the bells, and the en thusiastic shouts of the assembled multitude, accompanied this ceremony. The capital was illuminated at night, and to the hour of the last accounts remained perfectly tranquil."

ODESSA, JULY 29.—News from Constantinople to the 24th of July has been received here by the Emperor Nicholas steamer. The Porte had received the most satisface tory accounts from the army in Asia. Redschid Pacha had taken the town of Deschesira, after an obstinate resistance of forty-five days. It is a fortress on the Tigris, song days' march from Diarbekir. It was chiefly a place of rendezvous for the Kurds, and it is said that during the siege there' were 12,000 of them there. The loss of the Turkish army i 59 we believe, 400 or 500 men. The fine 80-gun ship lately built at Arsmastro, on the Black Sea, has come here to be equipped , and will soon be added to the Sultan's fleet, which becom'es daily stronger. The Turkish steam-boat, which took Hal.il Paella to Varna, returned on the 9th. Varna will be a very' strong fortress when the works are completed ; they will be defended by 260 cannon of the largest size, which will soon be sent thither. Letters from Adrianople say that the plague has lately broken out there, and commits great ravages.-- Hamburg Papers, Aug. 20. ENGLISH JUSTICE.—An ancient people said to Alexander, "We beg you to accept half our treasure." The Conqueror replied, " The question is not what you wish me to accept, but what I may please to leave you." The English Government has adopted the terrible logic of Alexander. In 1815 it guaranteed to the King of the Netherlands the sove reignty of Belgium in exchange for his colonies. Belgium having been taken away from the King with the consent of England, not only has the latter not restored the colonie.' which it received only in exchange, but now an outcry is raised in full Parliament against King William, who, in th e Island of Java, the only colony of which he has not been de spoiled by Great Britain, does not manifest favourable dispo sitions with respect to the commerce of that Power. One means remains to England, viz., to know, like Alexander, what it will please to leave to the King of the Netherlands...—. Journal de Frankfort, Aug. 20.

Two novel christenings took place at Rastrick UD Sunday week. A young man named Thornton, aged 14 year's and who had been baptised at one of the Dissenting chapels, has been rather uneasy, for a year or two, thinking he was not properly registered.

A pretended discovery, said to have been ma de on Friday last, in the forest of Bremgarten, near Berne, comes in this case very apropos, as it frequently has done on similar oc casious of vague accusations.
